I have been off work the last 3 days, and Haiku has repeatedly asked me to lie with her on the pillow shelf on the bed. I have, a few times, but these requests usually come when I am engaged in doing something else, including cooking. She will sit with me if I am on the sofa, but she no longer likes to sit with me in the computer room. I don't get that.
Last night, a cold front blew through, and the house was cooler than it had been, but even if I had turned the heat on, it was not cold enough for the heater to start. Haiku wanted me to go to bed, and it was late. I was tired, but my mind was racing, and I did not think I could sleep. But I did add an afghan to the bed covers, in case it got even colder, and crawled in bed, pulling up the covers. Haiku moved from her pillow shelf to under the covers next to me. She seemed very content at first. Then she became restless, and finally she left. I am not sure she returned to the bed all night.
Several times today, she has asked me to lie with her. Sometimes, I did. Sometimes, I did not. I am not sure what this is about, but she seems to want me to lie in bed with her as much as I can.
She will be disappointed when I go back to work tomorrow.
